This $3 BEER MUG Coles/Woolies cake hack just might be the best of the year!

Now this is genius! - by Nikki Black
  • 05 Mar 2019

We just LOVE a good Woolies and Coles cake hack here at New Idea Food. 

Using the $5 mud and sponge cakes available from local supermarkets, we’ve been blown away by the creations we’ve seen over the years.

This $3 BEER MUG Coles/Woolies cake hack just might be the best of the year!

But this ‘Beer Mug’ masterpiece by Aussie mum Lana just might take the, er, cake for a couple of reasons!

Not only does it look really awesome and is totally original, Lana made it for her husband using two Woolies cakes on special - with one cake reduced from $5 to $1.25 and another marked down from $7 to just $1.75. Woah!

Sharing her post to the fabulous Markdown Addicts Australia page, Lana wrote: ‘

Beer cake for hubby’s birthday! $3 for the cakes and 2 hours work! Pretty happy with the end result, hopefully he will be too, cheers 🍻🍺’

Love it! Lana goes on to reveal that she used Coles White Modelling Icing Paste to create that amazing handle - and used trial and error to create the very life-like beer coloured icing!

And so life-like!

I used yellow & red food colouring with cocoa to darken it, I just kept juggling colours till I got to this,’ she reveals.’ I believe you can buy brown food colour but I didn’t have any. Lots of yellow, small amount of red and a couple of tablespoons of cocoa.’

It’s no surprise that the other Markdown Addicts Australia members were blown away by Lana’s budget ‘Beer Mug’ hack. 

‘Wow! That’s amazing!’ says one. Writes another: ‘That’s so cool! Awesome work!’

Said a third: ‘That’s just amazing!’ 

We couldn’t agree more! For more, make sure you check out Markdown Addicts Australia - click here for more!
